Grids from birds - protection of the garden

Many gardeners are hanging a mirror or empty cans to get rid of voracious feathered pests. However, modern bird grids are much more convenient, reliable and easier to use. They are able to save young shoots and ripening harvest from total destruction. Make such meshes from a light, very flexible and durable material that can protect vegetables, berries and fruits from annoying birds of different species. This particular device was used by experienced gardeners in the past centuries. However, only in the last 10 years there were materials from which it is possible to produce very strong and absolutely weightless grids from birds.

Why use a novelty?

In the past, truck farmers resorted to the help of such devices as scarecrows or various "noisy" devices: bells, cans, glass and even seashells. However, all of the above methods are poorly cope with their tasks, and therefore there was a garden net from birds, made of highly effective cover material. To install it, you do not need a lot of strength or patience, you do not need to exert any effort. The bird protection grid has a very small specific weight, and its dimensions are very compact and convenient for transportation and storage. Depending on the needs of the gardener, it is possible to purchase a device of absolutely different sizes, guaranteeing the shelter of any bush, tree or berry bed.

Also, such products can have cells in the range of 0.5-1.5 cm, which will not miss even the tiniest feathered pests to fruits and shoots. Choosing a grid from birds, you need to carefully analyze the quality and thickness of the material from which they are made. If the second indicator is high, pests can notice the protective cover on the plants. And outwardly such products do not look as good as thin analogs. However, elegant networks, which are practically invisible on trees and vegetable beds, can be torn especially by aggressive or large birds.

Installing an invisible cover

Grids for birds just throw on top of trees and fruit bushes, they cover strawberry fields and even flower beds during the ripening of the seeds. Fasten the edges of the product with any improvised means - these can be laces, wands, pieces of wire and much more. By the time this procedure of grid mounting takes 5-10 minutes. Some summer residents use such shelter to protect their reservoirs from birds of prey or just from falling leaves. Thus, the fish in the pond remains whole, and it is much less necessary to clean it. When installing the network above the pond, the edges of the material are fixed with small pegs offshore.

The color scheme of such adaptations is completely diverse, but from the point of view of camouflage, black and green are considered to be the most successful in any herbal shades. The belief that red or orange grids from birds are better is not confirmed statistically, so the choice remains entirely at the discretion of the gardener. If you use the covering material carefully and competently, it can last about five years and also perform a decorative function.
